Data Loading and Preparation

• Study Reference: PubMed ID 30753825

Overview

The goal is to compare the new Gide MAE data with the Gide version available on ORCESTRA and assess their quality control (QC) results to ensure consistency in clinical and expression data across both datasets.

Data Overview

New MAE Data: - Total Patient Count: 91 (41 after subsetting to common patients with Orcestra) - Expression Data Dimensions: 61,544 genes across 41 patients (after subsetting) - Expression Data Range: Minimum: -9.965784, Maximum: 16.25238

Orcestra MAE Data: - Patient Count: 41 (same as the final subset of the new MAE) - Expression Data Dimensions: 61,544 genes across 41 patients - Expression Data Range: Minimum: -9.965784, Maximum: 16.25415

Expression Data Comparison Summary

The expression data between the new MAE and Orcestra MAE datasets is identical in terms of dimensions and range, ensuring consistency:

Comparison of Column Summaries between clin_subset and clin_orc

• Both datasets (clin_subset and clin_orc) are identical in structure and content for most columns.
• Numerical and categorical data (e.g., age, sex, treatmentid) show no differences in values or types.
• Columns like histo, stage, and TMB_raw contain only NA values in both datasets.
• The only inconsistency is in Days.to.EDT.Biopsy (numeric in clin_subset, character in clin_orc).

Quality Control Comparison Between Two Curated Datasets

Aim:

To generate Table 1 and Figure 2 (A and B) from the paper PubMed ID 30753825.

Objective:

Compare our new clinical data (91 patients) and clin_orc data (41 patients) to the published study (120 patients) for key characteristics and outcomes in Anti-PD-1 Monotherapy and Combined Anti-PD-1 with Anti-CTLA-4 Immunotherapy cohorts.

• Published Study: 63 monotherapy, 57 combination therapy patients.
• New ‘clin’ Data: 50 monotherapy, 41 combination therapy patients.
• clin_orc Data: 41 monotherapy patients, with about 22 missing; however, the newer curated data shows fewer differences (13).

Summary of Findings:

• Age (years), median:
  • Published Study: Monotherapy Non-responders: 64, Responders: 69; Combo Non-responders: 55, Responders: 57.
  • New ‘clin’ Data: Monotherapy Non-responders: 67, Responders: 62; Combo Non-responders: 51, Responders: 65.
  • clin_orc: Monotherapy Non-responders: 66, Responders: 66.
  • Insight: Age trends are similar across datasets, with minor differences.
• Gender Breakdown (Male %):
  • Published Study: Monotherapy Non-responders: 67%; Responders: 55%; Combo Non-responders: 62%, Responders: 66%.
  • New ‘clin’ Data: Non-responders: 73.9%; Responders: 59.3%; Combo: 63.6%, 66.7%.
  • clin_orc: Non-responders: 73.7%; Responders: 54.5%.
  • Insight: Gender distribution is consistent across datasets.
• Treatment Response (CR/PR):
  • Published Study: Monotherapy CR/PR: 45%; Combo: 53%.
  • New ‘clin’ Data: Monotherapy CR/PR: 46%; Combo: 53%.
  • clin_orc: Monotherapy CR: 0, PR: 19.
  • Insight: Responses align well, but clin_orc shows no CR in monotherapy.
• Progression-Free Survival (PFS, months):
  • Published Study: Monotherapy: 2.6; Combo: 2.7.
  • New ‘clin’ Data: Monotherapy: 2.6 for non-responders, 29 for responders; Combo: 2.7 for non-responders, 20.1 for responders.
  • clin_orc: Monotherapy: 2.6 for non-responders, 17.7 for responders.
  • Insight: Close alignment, with slight variations in responder data.
• Overall Survival (OS, months):
  • Published Study: Monotherapy 12-month OS: 89% responders; Combo: 67.7% for non-responders.
  • New ‘clin’ Data: Monotherapy 12-month OS: 96.3% responders, 21.7% non-responders; Combo: 86.7% responders, 54.5% non-responders.
  • clin_orc: Monotherapy 12-month OS: 21.1% for non-responders.
  • Insight: Higher OS rates in our data, especially among responders, likely due to smaller sample size.

Result:

Our dataset aligns closely with the published study regarding clinical characteristics and outcomes, with minor differences expected due to cohort sizes. The newer dataset is likely more accurate than the clin_orc data.

Immunotranscriptomic Gene Signatures in Responders and Non-responders to Anti-PD-1 Monotherapy and Combined Anti-PD-1

This study delves into the immunotranscriptomic changes experienced by patients undergoing Anti-PD-1 monotherapy and combination therapy. We aim to delineate the gene expression profiles that distinguish responders from non-responders.

Dataset Overview

The original paper evaluated 47 PRE samples (35 responders, 12 non-responders) and 15 EDT samples (11 responders, 4 non-responders). Comparatively, our dataset contains 41 PRE and 9 POST samples.

Analytical Workflow

1. Differential Gene Expression Analysis:
   • Paper’s Approach: Used HTSeq version 0.6.1 and Employed DESeq2 for normalization and differential expression analysis, aligning closely with the paper’s methodology.
2. Normalization and Read Counts:
   • Both studies applied the DESeq() function for consistent read count normalization.
3. Visualization of Normalized Expression:
   • Paper’s Method: Used counts per million (CPM) for visualization. Similarly we use the cpm() function to ensure comparable visualization of expression data.
4. Identification of Significant DEGs:
   • Both analyses adhered to the Benjamini-Hochberg correction for multiple testing, selecting DEGs with an adjusted p-value < 0.05. We identified 320 DEGs in our PRE-treatment samples.

Comparative Analysis Across Versions

Our study also aims to examine DEGs for clinical and count data across different versions of the dataset: - Orcestra Version: clin_orc and count_orcestra. - New Version: clin_subset and count.

The goal was to ensure the identified DEGs were consistent across both dataset versions. Remarkably, both analyses identified an identical number of significant DEGs, totaling 139 in each, underscoring the robustness and reproducibility of our gene signatures across diverse data structures and analytical approaches.

Gene Highlights

Notable genes including CFTR, USH2A, HOXA9, LAMB4, MYH7, and CD274 were identified as DEGs. Specifically: - LAMB4: Upregulated in non-responders, highlighting its role in immunosuppressive pathways. - CD274 (PD-L1): Known for its pivotal role in immune checkpoint pathways, associated with modulation of T cell activity.

This detailed comparison and consistent findings across dataset versions reinforce the reliability of our analytical methods and the significance of the identified DEGs in clinical contexts.

DEG Analysis Reassessment

Despite both curated DEG sets being identical, demonstrating consistency with the patient data, only 139 DEGs were initially identified, whereas the paper mentions over 300. We employed two approaches for further analysis:

Version 1: Reanalysis with the Complete Clinical Dataset

In this approach, we reanalyzed the data using the full clinical dataset to determine if including all available patient data influences DEG identification.

Version 2: Reanalysis with the Complete Clinical Dataset Using “Treatment Timepoint”

In this approach, we used the new “treatment_timepoint” column (extracted from the file 1-s2.0-S1535610819300376-mmc4.xlsx shared by the author) instead of the “RNA.Sequencing” column. This allowed us to distinguish pre- and post-treatment conditions more accurately.

Results

• Version 1: We identified 375 DEGs, closely matching the paper’s results.
• Version 2: We found 78 DEGs that intersected with the DEGs reported for pre-treatment monotherapy patients. This version almost exactly matches the 328 DEGs mentioned in the paper.

As a result, the newer MAE with the “treatment_timepoint” column provides more accurate results by clearly distinguishing pre- and post-treatment conditions, leading to better alignment with the paper’s findings.

Associated enriched KEGG signaling pathways (nominal p < 0.05) for anti-PD-1 monotherapy(PRE samples)

This analysis aims to identify and compare enriched KEGG signaling pathways in pre-treatment and early during treatment (EDT) samples from anti-PD-1 monotherapy. The focus is on statistically significant pathways (nominal p < 0.05) and comparing them with known immune-related pathways from the literature.

Pathway Data

KEGG pathways were sourced from the file c2.cp.kegg.v7.4.symbols.gmt.

Analysis Steps

1. Gene Ranking: Genes were ranked by the negative log10 of their p-values, derived from differential expression analysis.
2. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA): Conducted using the fgsea package to determine pathway enrichment.
3. Results Filtering: Emphasis was on pathways with adjusted p-values less than 0.05.
4. Literature Comparison: Enriched pathways were evaluated against a predefined list of immune response pathways to identify overlaps.

Common Pathways: KEGG_CHEMOKINE_SIGNALING_PATHWAY, KEGG_NATURAL_KILLER_CELL_MEDIATED_CYTOTOXICITY were identified in our DEG analysis using the complete clinical data, with the new treatment_timepoint column.
